Hi everyone, Just an introduction to myself. I am a pleasure angler with no desire to match fish, go specimen hunting, or "bag up". I use tackle that I have made, restored or cobbled together. Often I go with a like minded friend who is very tolerant of my odd ball approach! An example of which is .........that I purchased at the tackle fair a very fine Hardy F.K.W. rod for a three figure price and at the same time a bundle of mis matched sections . After some fettling I made up a "bitsa" rod for about £2.Both have caught fish and given me pleasure however the first I have used once and the second about three times to date.! Eccentric...Yes......Contented definitely.

Welcome to the pool,Tonkin.
As I recall your "Bitsa" is quite deadly. Makes we wonder sometimes though, why we ever spend vast amounts on rods, when some people can whip a fish out of a puddle with little more than a few bits of stick lashed together!
